TRUE LOVE WAYS

''True Love Ways'' is a posthumous single released by Buddy Holly in 1960. The song was co-written by Holly and Norman Petty and recorded in October 1958, four months before the singer's death.
In some versions of the song, faint audio shows Holly preparing to sing and record, saying "Yeah, we're rolling." A piano player and trombone player start to play some notes, Holly mutters "Okay," and clears his throat. A recordist yells "Quiet boys!" to everyone else in the room, and at the very end of the talkback, the recordist says "pitch Ernie" to signal the piano player to give the vocalist (Buddy) the proper note to start with.
